Texans' J.J. Watt releases special Reebook shoe to honor grandfather who served in Korea

For the second straight year, J.J. Watt and Reebok are releasing a special edition of the Texans star’s shoe to honor the military.

The Reebok JJ III Valor edition also includes a special salute to his grandfather James Watt, a Korean War veteran.

The shoes, which were made available Monday, are $100 and Watt says all of his personal proceeds will go to the Honor Flight Network with Reebok also chipping in $5 per shoe – up to $25,000. The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit that flies veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit military memorials and monuments and then flies them back home where they receive a hero’s greeting from their family and friends.
